Review - Influenster Love Voxbox





Hey loves! So a few weeks ago I received my free Love VoxBox from Influenster. Those of you who are not familiar with Influenster, it is a website where you sign up and earn badges when you take different surveys. They have surveys for beauty, fitness, food lovers and a lot of other categories. The more badges that you unlock you have more chances of receiving their awesome VoxBoxes that have a range of products that you can try. The boxes are free but you must agree to give your honest reviews on the products that they send. How hard is that? I love writing reviews so I was so excited to participate. 

The first VoxBox that I was sent was the Love VoxBox. This one premiered in February and has fun products that are geared toward getting you ready for that special Valentine's Day Date.

Official Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Description  - - Gillette Venus & Olay are coming together to deliver a gold standard in shaving with the new Gillete Venus & Olay razor! Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin, while Venus' five blades shave you close.

» Price - $8.99-$10.99
» Overall Rating - I have always wanted to try a Venus Razor. I would get so close but then put it back because of the price. My eyes lit up when I saw this included in the box. When I first opened the razor I immediately noticed the delicious smell. It smelled like Vanilla and Honey. It also came with a cute holder for the shower. I was surprised in the directions that it explained that no shaving cream was needed! I absolutely love this razor! It was super easy to use and it really did not need any shaving gel at all. I was done so fast. I had no cuts or anything. The only negative thing that I can say about this product is that I did notice the two bars of Olay were already fading. I will definitely be purchasing this razor again based on the fact how fast and easy it was to shave my legs.

Official Stash Tea Herbal Tea Sampler Description
  - - This sampler features some of Stash Tea's most popular herbal teas. All are naturally caffeine free and made from 100% natural ingredients. Steep for 3-5 minutes at 190-209 degrees, and enjoy!

» Price - $3.50
» Overall Rating - I am not a tea person at all. I am more of a coffee kind of gal. I was nervous when I saw all of those tea packets. I was pleasantly surprised when I started to sample all of the different flavors. The box comes with acai berry, blueberry superfruit, chamomile, cinnamon apple chamomile, lemon ginger, licorice spice, mango passionfruit, peppermint and wild raspberry hibiscus. My top favorite ones were acai berry, lemon ginger and mango passionfruit. This came at a perfect time because I have been sick all week. I love how they don't have any overpowering taste and they soothed my throat. This box would be perfect for any tea lover or even anyone like myself that wants to sample different flavors.

Official Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar Description  - - The decadently rich and creamy 32% cacao milk chocolate in Creamy Devotion delievers an epicurean chocolate experience. Experience a moment of timeless pleasure with all natural Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk chocolate.

» Price - $2.99
» Overall Rating - I am chocolate obsessed. This bar tasted like heaven. I already loved Ghirardelli chocolates to begin with but this bar tasted different from the ones that I have tried in the past. It did not taste too strong at all. I could not put it down. I will definitely be purchasing this again.

Official Truvia Natural Sweetener Description  - - Truvia natural sweetener is refreshingly uncomplicated, made from the best tasting part of the Stevia plant. Sprinkle this no-calorie sweetener on your grapefruit Spoon it in your coffee. It won't end up on your conscience or your thighs!

» Price - $3.99 (40ct)
» Overall Rating - I have never really used any sweeteners before. This one did not taste bad at all. I put it in my coffee and it did taste a bit like sugar. I like that it is a healthier alternative to sugar. It's a bit pricey so I will just stick with my normal sugar.


Official Kiss Nail Dress - Fashion That Sticks Description  - - Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, the ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. Available in 18 different styles!

» Price - $6.99
» Overall Rating - I was super excited to see this in my VoxBox. First of all I was so happy that I got the leopard print design! I have used nail stickers in the past from other brands so I was really curious to see how this one was going to hold up. I really liked how the stickers were placed. They were all on a clear strip which provided easy peel off application and did not live a big mess like other nail stickers. I am on week 2 and now I am starting to notice a bit of wear on my nail tips. The Kiss Nail Dress are a few dollars cheaper so based on that I would recommend these over the more expensive ones because they provide the same amount of coverage. I hope they release more designs in the future.

Sephora Friends and Family Haul



Hello! I was so excited for Sephora's Friends and Family Sale online & their special VIB Shopping Event in store. I swear for like a few days I kept adding and subtracting products from my shopping cart. Finally decided to get a few products that I have been eyeing for the longest time. I felt like it was Christmas morning when my package came! I also went to the VIB Shopping Event. I didn't think it was going to be crowded at all because the mall was super empty. Boy was I wrong. So many beauty addicts all crammed into a Sephora. It was really overwhelming at first but I was on a mission! I got a chance to spin the wheel and won a full sized perfume! I also scored an sweet Sephora tote bag! Here are my Sephora goodies!! What did you all get? Please share in the comments!

Clarisonic Mia in the Jaguar Print - I am so happy that I finally decided to get the Clarisonic Mia. Of course I had to get it in the animal print version. I read so many different reviews online, asked friends and family members and all of them had only positive things to say about this. I wear makeup everyday and even after I use makeup wipes I still feel like I have some on me. I have not tried this out yet but I am sure that I will love it!


Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter - This was one of those products that I kept adding and then deleting from my cart. Ugh I love Benefit so much and their high beam highlighter! I think I am softy for super cute packaging but I was super pleased when I tried this out. It gave me a gorgeous finish with a hint of light sparkles. I didn't need a lot of product to have it show up. It is perfect for all different skin tones.

Benefit They're Real Mascara - Perfect timing that I ran out of my current mascara and since this mascara came out I have been wanting to try! I feel that it does live up to it's hype. I wear false lashes everyday. When I don't wear them I feel so incomplete. I first curled my lashes and then applied the mascara. They really made my eyelashes pop! I love the tip of the wand because it is rounded to get the tough inner corners of my eyes.

The Original Beauty Blender - I am so glad that I decided to give in and buy the beauty blender. It gave me a flawless look and cut down the whole application time. It blended my foundation perfectly and was super easy to use. I also loved the pointed tip to reach those hard to get spots. I will be using this everyday before work to save a lot of time.

Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish - Obsessed! I love this so much! I am on a mission now to get different colors of magnetic polish. Super easy to use and I love how I can control how bold I want it to look. Super fun designs. I think I love this more than crackle. I definitely recommend you all to try this! I posted a picture of my nails on Instagram. Please feel free to add me my username is Shannnyn
